About The Position

We’re looking for a Copywriter who excels in helping cross-functional teams find creative and compelling ways to connect with their audiences. The role calls for great strategic thinking, flawless execution, ambition, and optimism. Our work doesn't follow conventional Advertising, PR, Communications, or Marketing norms, so there’s no typical creative brief. You’ll handle both major concepts and detailed copy, collaborating with clients on storytelling, developing 360 campaigns, and brainstorming brand ideas throughout the day.

Requirements

3–5 years of copywriting experience in an agency, consultancy, in-house creative team, or similarly fast-paced marketing environment.
A portfolio demonstrating strong conceptual thinking and execution across integrated campaigns and brand experiences.
Excellent short-form and long-form writing skills across a variety of voices, tones, and formats.
Advanced grammar, editing, proofreading, and storytelling abilities.
Ability to think strategically and develop creative ideas rooted in audience insights and business objectives.
Experience partnering with designers, art directors, strategists, and cross-functional teams to create impactful creative work.
Ability to translate complex and ambiguous concepts into clear, persuasive messaging.
Strong presentation and communication skills, with the ability to articulate creative rationale to internal teams and clients.
Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Proven 360 advertising experience, writing copy across fully integrated campaigns (paid and organic social, digital, video, TV, experiential, OOH, CRM/email, web, and emerging channels).
High attention to detail and commitment to craft.
Curiosity about culture, trends, emerging platforms, and evolving creative best practice

Nice To Haves

Bachelor's degree in Advertising, Communications, Journalism, English, Marketing, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Experience in the sports, entertainment, automotive, or telecommunications industries.
Experience writing for regulated, complex, or highly technical industries.
Experience collaborating with analytics, research, or performance teams to optimize messaging.
Energy, a sense of humor, and an open and curious mind.
Strong understanding of contemporary culture, social platforms, and creative trends—and the judgment to distinguish between trends and enduring creative ideas.

Responsibilities

High-level concepting, tactical program ideation, copywriting, and copyediting for a wide range of brand experiences, social content, marketing deliverables, and business development materials.
Successfully communicating and presenting creative ideas, strategic rationale, and copy.
